Westside Family Clinic

I live in West Seattle and once your home you hate to leave to head downtown to a Dr. My original Dr. Closed practice abruptly so I was left to seek on my own mid prescription. Not being able to get into any place soon, I reached out to Westside family clinic. I like the neighborhood feel and convenience of the clinic. Grace is a down to earth real deal easy going professional. I feel comfortable here and the location and parking is convenient for West Seattle.

GLBT and Trans sensitive and friendly. This is a great clinic where everyone cares about you. They try and squeeze you in if it’s possible and work with you when you need alternative therapies. This is not a one-​size-​fits-​all clinic. They specialize your care based on you. The way it’s supposed to be. I love them.
So why only four stars? Because, it’s a teaching clinic. Which means you will have to introduce yourself to the student of the month. And it also means that you will be handed off to students which can be annoying sometimes. Overhaul, they handle my family’s care and I trust them. But I also know when to say, «I need Grace, not a student today.»

Just adore Grace & her staff. They make doctor visits painless. Take my 6 yr old here too, so it’s a very family friendly clinic. Can’t say enough nice things about them. And for you gals, they also do a Mobile Mammogram truck a few times a year, something we might otherwise put off if we have to leave West Seattle to get it done.

The staff is wonderful but since they moved locations it’s impossible to get anyone on the phone

I’ve moved, she’s moved, and I’ll drive an hour and she’ll come in early or stay late, she has taken care of me and my children through, flu, birthcontrol, menstral pain, depression, well checkups, sports injuries, eye injuries, school shots, and everything in between — oh did I mention that with and without medical insurance I can afford her! Yes she is as good as medical gets and her staff is great and she trains interns too. I’m giving her 5 stars!

I will tell everyone and anyone about Grace and her clinic! She was so kind and caring! She has a heart to help and will do whatever she can to help you! If you need a place to go where your truly cared for and listened to, Westside Family Clinic is it!

Grace is one of the best medical professionals I’ve ever worked with. Both she and Madea (the other ARNP on staff) are knowledgeable and have great bedside manner.
When I had a week-​long migraine, Grace and Madea were willing to try different tactics to treat me, and allowed me to stay in one of their rooms with the lights off for a half-​hour to see how a new medication would work. When I had questions about birth control, Grace candidly discussed all of my options — and the ins and outs of insurance claims for those options — without rushing me or trying to push me out. When I’ve needed same-​day support, there was almost always a way to fit me in (even if someone stayed late).
I trust this clinic with my health, hands down. I recently received a notice that they’ll be joining with another local clinic, and will have a new location, but their telephone numbers will remain the same.

The entire staff at WSCC has my undying, gratitude, respect, and adoration.
They seem to have limitless patience, availabilty, Ability, Compassion, and genuine concern for each and every one of the patients that walk through their door. INSURED OR NOT.
Bless them for attending to my Daughter so lovingly, and for quelling my fears.
This clinic is old fashioned, Insurance and payment are not the first priority, You are.

I cannot recomend this place enough. I’ve had a lot of major health issues in the last few years and i cannot imagine what i would have done with the support of the staff in this clinic. Grace has always been amazing and so easy to speak with. Her referrals have always been to the best specialists and i feel like the people there really care. The best part about care from a nursing background is its always very practical and considers the human elements — I’ve had care from both Grace and Madea and i’ve never felt more trusting and comfortable with health providers than them.

I have 1) been to a zillion doctors and their offices in my life, and 2) recommend this clinic over all others. I have seen both Nurse Practitioners (NPs) since the clinic’s inception. It’s founder, Grace, has created a safe, clean, financially reasonable, and ethically sound clinic at WSCC. Both NPs are professional yet personal, kind, compassionate, and brilliant at their jobs. Their staff rises above the rest, also, showing an earnest interest in performing at their best. Both Grace Grymes-​Chapman, NP and Medea Karr, NP, show a heightened intellectual curiosity coupled with extensive training. They also have unique and experienced past posts as NPs. I see Medea most often, as she is a wiz with Fibromyalgia and chronic pain, and is the most compassionate, empathetic health care provider I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. My spouse sees Grace (as I have done and would do again). When a local health care provider myself, I did not hesitate to send my clients to either of these incredible women. I am consistently impressed with these amazing ladies and the staff they surround themselves with (a big nod to their MA, Jeff, and the rest of the great people at WSCC). No matter how tricky or complex your situation, they can handle it. Other pluses are: it is very easy to park free at their clinic (a real plus in Seattle); they usually can see you same day or within 24 hours; their referrals have always been spot-​on; you will not wait an hour to see them past your appointment time like at other clinics-​they are very respectful of your time and yet more thorough than any other clinic I have ever been to. I won’t go anywhere else for my primary care-​they are hands-​down the best!
